Pampered by Short-Lived Bigshot

Chapter 318: 213 New Year’s Eve, Sprinkling Sugary Sweet (2 updates)_3

At the lantern festival, there were all sorts of activities beyond lanterns, such as eating, drinking, and playing. Taotao found everything novel, and Jiang Yanting was very perceptive, mainly giving money to things she showed interest in.

Taotao stared at Jiang Yanting, and stars actually began to appear in her eyes.

Why do they say on TV that men who work diligently are the most handsome? Clearly, it’s when they spend money on you that men are at their handsomest!

Taotao now felt that:

Jiang Yanting was, in this world, the handsomest man!

And so she naturally grew a few degrees closer to him.

“Don’t buy anymore for her; she just wants anything she sees, and you can’t spoil a child like this.” Shen Zhixian frowned; if it were him taking care of the child, what then?

“It’s just once a year, let her have what she likes. A daughter should be pampered. I can afford it,” Jiang Yanting continued, “Whatever she wants, whatever she likes, I can give her. Once she’s seen enough of the world, she won’t be easily swayed by any man’s sweet talking or moved by someone simply buying her things and run off with him.”

“What kind of theory is that?” Shen Zhixian had never heard such a claim before. Spoiling a child and having such a theory!

Mainly because it seemed to make some sense, and she found herself unable to refute it all at once.

This was Jiang Chengsi’s saying, and at the time, even Jiang Yanting was choked up by it, let alone now when applied to Shen Zhixian.noveldrama

At the moment, the two kids were perched at a cotton candy stall, each already holding one; when Jiang Yanting scanned the code to pay, he bought three instead.

“Sir, you’ve overscanned by one,” the stall owner was puzzled.

“Another one, please.”

Jiang Yanting took the cotton candy and handed it to Shen Zhixian.

“Why are you giving this to me?”

“Didn’t you used to like eating it?”

“But I’m a mother now,” Shen Zhixian felt embarrassed holding it, as everyone around her with cotton candy was either a kid or a young girl. What was she to be categorized as?

Jiang Yanting promptly stuffed the cotton candy into her hand. Shen Zhixian felt a bit flustered, after all, those holding this were either small children or young girls, and here she was… whatever was she?

“It seems there’s a flower boat over there with performances,” Jiangjiang pointed excitedly to a spot and unconsciously ran into the crowd.

“Jiangjiang!”

Shen Zhixian quickly followed after, leaving only Taotao, who was munching on cotton candy, and the expressionless Jiang Yanting at the stall.

“Uncle, let’s go too, or we won’t be able to catch up.” Taotao reached out and grabbed his generous palm.

Jiang Yanting, however, felt warmth in his heart, gently gripping her back, holding onto her as they walked together. The little girl was slow, so he adjusted to her pace, all the while his eyes were surveying her out of the corner of his eye.

This was his daughter… the feeling was definitely different.

Taotao was very fond of him at this moment, after all, who wouldn’t like someone willing to dote on her and spend money on her?

When they arrived at the flower boat, the outside was already packed with people; Jiangjiang and the others were inside, but Jiang Yanting and Taotao couldn’t squeeze in. Taotao, being petite, couldn’t see anything outside and was easily jostled by the crowd.

“Shall I carry you?” Jiang Yanting tentatively asked her.

Taotao bit her lip, “Umm… can I ride on your shoulders?”

It was something she had always wanted since she was small, but the only person she could approach was Xie Duo, and she dared not ask him. As for Jiang Yanting, she felt this uncle doted and indulged her, so she cautiously inquired.

“Sure,” Jiang Yanting gladly agreed, after all, it was good that his daughter was willing to be close to him.

He squatted down and after some awkward clambering, Taotao eventually got on his shoulders. Jiang Yanting was tall, and instantly, her view widened, while Jiang Yanting securely held onto her legs, strong and safe.

“Uncle, can you see?” Taotao asked him, looking down.

“Just help me see a little more.”

“Okay.” Taotao diligently watched the flower boat, continuously describing it to him…

When Xie Duo and Xie Tongtong arrived, they could see from afar that Taotao was actually on Jiang Yanting’s shoulders.

Xie Tongtong laughed, “Jiang Second Master really dotes on Taotao. He’s so indulgent. Looks like the little girl’s fortune is finally arriving.”

Xie Duo squinted his eyes, thinking back on his previous suspicions. He had gotten some of Jiangjiang’s hair, but because of Jiang Jinsang’s warning, he hadn’t sent it for comparison.

He knew Jiang Yanting too well. He wasn’t a soft-hearted or sentimental person. For him to go this far, perhaps certain matters were like Pandora’s box and should not be opened.

He had thought too much lately. If his suspicion proved correct, then the Xie Family was but a deep abyss. Honestly…

He was a bit afraid, afraid of knowing the truth!

“Hey, Brother, don’t you think Taotao looks a bit like someone from the Jiang Family? Not like Jiang Second Master, but she resembles Jiang Fifth Master somewhat. I didn’t notice before, but standing together just now, I felt… there was something…” Xie Tongtong clicked her tongue, “Maybe the little girl and Taotao really have a destined connection with the Jiang Family.”

On the other side, Jiang Jinsang and Tang Wan, along with a particularly bright third-wheel, aimlessly wandered the lantern festival. Tang Wan held her phone, taking numerous photos- selfies, pics of Jiang Jinsang, and naturally, there were solo shots of Qi Zeyan, which she then sent several to Ruan Mengxi!

Ruan Mengxi had just finished her New Year’s Eve dinner, watching the Spring Festival Gala and listening to her family chat- nothing new, just talks about whose son got married or whose daughter had a baby. She wasn’t interested in these topics and was listlessly cracking sunflower seeds.

Like a heartless seed-cracking machine!

Upon receiving the photos, her excitement instantly peaked.

[Tang Xiaowan, I love you, mua——]

Tang Wan couldn’t help but smile, but then a barrage of messages arrived in quick succession.

[This candid photo is too gorgeous, isn’t it? As expected of a handsome man, he looks good from every angle!]

[What should I do? I want to fly back to Beijing now, I want to sleep with him!]

Tang Wan’s mouth twitched, [You should just wash up and go to bed!]
